That's a great article, Stargink. I'm glad to have you on our side in this Eagles thing.

I'm proud to have hated the fucking Eagles since I was 14, and everyone was playing that Greatest Hits thing. Didn't take me long to dismiss it, and I have nothing but scorn and derision for those who didn't. The Eagles and their legions of fans make me ill. Stones!

Don Henley Laments the Death of Common CourtesyBy Jeff Giles September 30, 2015

Don Henley wrote a substantial portion of his new Cass County album while driving the 154-mile distance between Dallas and Linden, Texas, and the experience left him feeling fairly grim about the state of American society.

Saying he was cut off by other drivers on a regular basis, Henley told Paste, “That encapsulates the whole fabric of our society now. Common courtesy is gone.”

The next logical step, continued Henley, is to remove turn signals from cars in order to really reflect how modern driving is a “bloodsport.” “If you want to change lanes or get off the freeway, you’d better start doing it a mile or two in advance, because nobody gives a s— what you want to do,” he warned. “That’s what happens when there’s too many f—ing people, like the psychologist who did the simple experiment of putting rats in a cage — the more you put in, the more aggressive their behavior becomes. It’s just a simple equation, but I don’t know what the answer is.”

He may not know what the answer is, but Henley — who’s devoted much of his time, money and energy to environmental causes over the last several decades — sees an inevitable endpoint looming, regardless of whether we treat other drivers fairly. “Nature’s going to take care of it,” he shrugged. “We’re going to run out of f—ing water, and that’s going to be it. That said? Life is still pretty good. And it’s better than the alternative, I guess.”

“What rap did that was impressive was to show there are so many tone-deaf people out there,” he says. “All they need is a drum beat and somebody yelling over it and they’re happy. There’s an enormous market for people who can’t tell one note from another.” - Keef

" That said? Life is still pretty good. And it’s better than the alternative, I guess.”

" The Eagles are going to have to wait another year to receive their Kennedy Center Honors.

The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts announced Wednesday it will postpone the presentation of Kennedy Center Honors to the Eagles due to band member Glenn Frey’s health concerns.

“The Eagles will be unable to participate in the 2015 Kennedy Center Honors on December 6th due to Glenn Frey’s health,” said the band in a statement. “Mr. Frey has had a recurrence of previous intestinal issues, which will require major surgery and a lengthy recovery period. The Kennedy Center has graciously agreed to postpone the Eagles’ award presentation until next year, when all four Eagles, Glenn Frey, Don Henley, Joe Walsh, and Timothy B. Schmit, can attend.”

While the band won't be participating, this year's gala will continue as scheduled on Dec. 6, where singer-songwriter Carole King, filmmaker George Lucas, actress and singer Rita Moreno, conductor Seiji Ozawa and actress and Broadway star Cicely Tyson will be honored.

Kennedy Center President Deborah Rutter sent her best wishes to Frey for a full recovery. “It felt only right to defer bestowing this extraordinary honor to the group when Glenn could also be in attendance," says Rutter in a statement. "We look forward to the Eagles’ participation in the 2016 Honors.”

I think we still hate the Eagles, but feel properly sorry for them. Best wishes to the Meisner family.

So anyway, some of the guys in my current cover band have broken off from the rest of the group and have started an Eagles tribute band. As God as my witness, I have no #@#!ing idea what I should do. Should I talk to the rest of the guys in our band and get them kicked out? Should I take my Rickenbacker and go home? I am seriously losing sleep on this issue, as it will significantly hamper my social standing to be seen with them. Such talented musicians, too.

Has anyone else ever had this problem? What did you do?

The only thing I can think of is for me and moonie to head down to their opening gig this weekend with "Eagles suck!" painted on our buttocks so we can drop trau when they start playing "Hotel California". Anyone else care to join us?

" Don Felder, Bernie Leadon and Randy Meisner Will NOT Be Part of the Eagles' Kennedy Center Honors "

" Despite a year long campaign by a fan, the Kennedy Center has decided not to include Don Felder, Bernie Leadon and Randy Meisner as part of the Eagles' Kennedy Center Honors.

The Eagles were supposed to receive the honor last December but they asked to have it postponed a year while Glenn Frey was going through a medical situation. Shortly after the initial announcement in 2015, fan Brandon Butler started a petition asking the Kennedy Center to included all of the past members of the band who contributed so much to their sound and career to be included in the ceremony.

In August, Butler sent the petition to the Kennedy Center but, unfortunately, he received the following statement back from Deborah Rutter, president of the Center:The Kennedy Center consulted with the Eagles and through that discussion, it was determined that the four band members who "carried the torch" --Don Henley, the late Glenn Frey, Timothy B. Schmit, and Joe Walsh--will be awarded the Honors. We appreciate that there will be some debate about who constitutes the Eagles. This determination does not discredit the contributions of former band members.Still, Butler is not giving up completely. He has asked Ms. Rutter to at least consider inviting Felder, Leadon and Meisner so that they can "feel a sense of pride and accomplishment watching the tributes from their fellow artists."

Butler added:I want to send one final message to Don, Bernie, and Randy if they or anyone within their families read this. Please know that 10,000 plus Eagles fans across the globe believe your contributions to the band will not be forgotten. Regardless of the outcome of this petition, you should feel a sense of accomplishment and pride knowing your contributions are going to be heard by generations to come like "Hotel California", or "Take It To the Limit", or "Witchy Woman". They will be played for years to come. I think that is a lot better than having a medal placed across your chest "

" This should have been a time to celebrate. On Sunday, the three surviving members of the final edition of the Eagles - Henley, guitarist Joe Walsh, bassist Timothy B. Schmit, all of them 69 - will receive Kennedy Center Honors. But Frey's death in January, from complications brought on by years of battling rheumatoid arthritis and colitis, has cast a bittersweet cloud over the proceedings. Cindy Frey will be given her late husband's medallion. "
